Display settings 4 different objects 2005-06-24 - By JP

Yes David, the effects of one method are not exclusive of the other, as the
object will render with whatever texture you have applied to it, be it
opaque, translucent, transparent, whatever, while allowing you to model in
any available display mode combination desired. Glad the technique
information is helpful.
As for other helpful tools that come into play with the display modes, the
layers can be used to lock assigned objects from selection while you work
on target objects around them. You can toggle layers from view as needed
for both modeling and rendering. This is a big help in rendering parts of
scenes without interference from other parts and testing out different
configurations around common parts. Differing display modes again help in
comparing different configurations overlaid on each other.
Isn't the flexibility of trueSpace wonderful? :o)

Jeff
